Why did Oda write a panel of Queen dead serious and broadcasting to entire island he's going to personally kill a TP?
You're ignoring the plot points between Queen and Udon prisoners, Chopper and Drake to push Queen vs Sanji, same as the OP. No one is denying Queen knows Judge but it pale in comparison of Queen other plots, especially Drake.
The WG on the roof couldnt do anything to Kaido until Luffy got Adv CoC, Oda is gonna powerscale when he wants, who he wants, and how he wants.
